b.nucleus.

c.protons.

d.electrons.

e.both c and d are correct.​

Answer 1

Both c and d are correct

Answer 2

Answer:

e) Both c and d are correct.

Explaination:

Atoms are made of extremely tiny particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, making up the nucleus. Electrons surround the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge.

Property

Electrons are a type of subatomic particle with a negative charge. Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. Protons are bound together in an atom's nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force. Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they're neutral).
